FINDING AN APARTMENT (COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES)

PART 1: FILL IN THE BLANKS USING THE ADJECTIVES IN THE BOX.


(COMPARATIVE FORM)

LONG / GOOD / BRIGHT / LARGE / NEW /FAR / NICE / CLEAN / BIG / OLD
/ CLOSE / EXPENSIVE / INTERESTING / CHEAP

My wife and I need a new place to live. We spent the past


week-end looking at apartments. We found two
apartments that we like but we can’t decide which one we
like (1) BETTER.
I like the first apartment that we saw. It is (2) CLOSER to
work. It is in a (3) NEWER, (4) CLEANER building. The inside
is (5) BRIGHTER because it has (6) BIGGER windows. The
view is (7) NICER too. Unfortunately, it is (8) MORE
EXPENSIVE. The rent is too high.
My wife likes the second apartment that we saw. It is in an
(9) OLDER building and it is in a (10) MORE INTERESTING
neighborhood. The apartment has (11) LARGER rooms. The
rent is (12) CHEAPER. Unfortunately, it is (13) FARTHER
from work than the other apartment. It would take both us
(14)LONGER to get to work.
We are going to look at more apartments next week-end.
Maybe we will find an apartment that we both like!

THE CITY AND THE COUNTRY


David: How do you like living in a big city?
Maria: I like it so much more than living in the country. There
are many things that make it better.
David: Oh, really? Can you give me some examples?
Maria: Well, it certainly is more interesting out in the city than
it is in the country. There is so much more to do and
see!
David: Yes, but the city is more dangerous than the country.
Maria: That's true. People in the city aren't as open and
friendly as those in the countryside, and the streets
aren't as safe.
David: I'm sure that the country is more relaxed, too!
Maria: Yes, the city is busier than the country. However, the
country feels much slower than the city.
David: I think that's a good thing!
Maria: Oh, I don't. The country is so boring! Being in the
country is much more boring than being in the city.
David: How about the cost of living? Is the country cheaper
than the city?
Maria: Oh, yes. Living in the city is more expensive than in the
country.
David: Life in the country is also much healthier than in the
city.
Maria: Yes, it's cleaner and less dangerous in the country. But,
the city is so much more exciting. It's faster, crazier and
more fun.
David: I think you are crazy for moving to the city.
Maria: Well, I'm young now. Maybe when I'm married and have
children I'll move back to the country.
